Chapter 2663
'This is indeed your fault, Jayden! It's a good thing that Renee managed to get us another chance and there's still hope that we
can work with Cynthion Group."
'We hope that you can learn from your mistakes."
The elders sighed.
Jayden was a talented martial artist and they all had high hopes for him.
Though Jayden came close to messing up the deal between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, they did not reprimand Jayden
harshly and simply reminded him to to not repeat the same mistake.
"I-" Jayden's expression darkened.
He thought that he only acted out of concern for his family's gain as he wanted to fight for more profit for the Morrisons. At the
time, most people agreed with his point of view and that was why he decided to tell Leon about it.
However, everyone ended up blaming him for it and he could not figure out why.
Still, he could tell that Caleb was furious and dared not to argue further to avoid enraging him further.
In the end, he could only swallow his pride and quiet down.
"Alright! Go back to your room. You're grounded for a month. Reflect on your own mistakes. You are not to come out until you
recognize your mistakes!" Caleb roared.
At the same time, he regretted agreeing to Jayden's request and bringing him to the hotel to meet with Hugh. If he refused
Jayden, the situation would not have escalated to this point.
However, it was all too late.
Jayden was still his son and he could not do much to punish him.
However, Jayden did come close to ruining the Morrisons' chance to work with Cynthion Group. This would have cost them
tremendous loss, so he decided to ground Jayden for a month.
'But I- Okay." Jayden opened his mouth hesitantly.
Though he did not think he did anything wrong, being grounded for a month was not a big deal. To avoid enraging Caleb further,
he reluctantly accepted the punishment.
With that, he left to reflect on his mistakes.
Once Jayden was gone, Hugo consoled Caleb and changed the subject back to the deal with Cynthion Group. "Grandfather,
calm down. It's already happened and it doesn't matter if it's Uncle's fault. Right now, we need to find a way to beat the Daglesh
to work with Cynthion Group."
Compared to how Jayden was punished, it was far more important to consider how they could defeat the Dagleshs.
Hugo put a lot of effort into securing a deal with Cynthion Group and he did not wish for that opportunity to be given to the
Dagleshs in the end.
